Mission Trails Golf Course

I understand that we have had more rain than usual, but they did not bother to mow the fairways .

The clover and weeds made it difficult to find your ball on the fairway, never mind get a good strike at it.

My only main issue with this course is the rough is pretty thick and tall on the edges of the greens and the fairway and lost a good amount of balls that I shouldn’t have. If managemente spent a bit on keeping fairways and rough (2-4 feet of the edge of the fairway) in better conditions this course would provide a mich better experience for players.

Golfers they are making a ton of money off us and not doing their part bt keeping up the course , matts only bs, (greed) and more. Spread the word. Lots of players club guys that dont even go and keep paying. Wish i could get the email list. Worst conditions ever!!

Front 9 has not been mowed for a very long time. Spoke to staff and said having trouble hiring? You literally have to sweep your shoes in 6-9" of clover and hope to kick your ball. Back 9 is normal for Trails. Should have option to play back 9 2x. Been playing this course for about 20 years. Worst I've seen in a very long time. Bring a lot of balls. Even if you hit just off fairways and greens, it is a 50/50 chance you will find your ball.

Once was my home course. A lot of rain has troubled many SD courses but there was no excuse for conditions here. Fairways recently cut with loose grass everywhere. We were told that grass around greens had not yet been cut but it was longer than the rough for a US Open and it was fairway. We quit after 9 and over 3 hours. I rarely lose balls but lost 2 sleeves in 9 holes. I felt like I had played 27 after 9.

Using the rain from a week ago as an excuse to not mow, even on the completely dry holes. Course was absolute trash

A lot of water standing from the rains on the front nine and they can’t cut so a lot of tall clovers on the fairways. Lost a lot of balls in the clovers on the fairways. Back nine is stellar. Greens are super good and fast. When it dries up and they can cut the front nine, it will be killer.

I've played at Mission Trails many times before, and as one of the "cheaper" options in town, a pristine course is not to be expected. That said, this was easily the WORST course conditions I've ever experienced at any course I've played in San Diego. The fairways were all so overgrown that finding a perfectly straight tee shot was impossible at times. In addition to the lack of cutting, walking was like trekking through a marsh or the everglades in Florida. My feet and lower pant legs were completely soaked from the first hole on. They should have either had the course closed for business or at least warned potential golfers that the course was in a pretty rough state. To charge regular weekend prices for the type of conditions we played on was almost thievery.

I suppose it is because of the recent downpours but truth be told, fairways looked like roughs and roughs where little jungles where you could lose the most straightforward ball.

In the 25 years ive been playing this course , I’ve never seen it managed this poorly. Green ankle high weeds in every fairway. You cant even find your ball in every fairway.

Not a playable course. Large tree halfway down with no cones around it. Sad to see american golf let this course go to crap. Place would go under fast if it wasnt for the monthly players club memberships that people pay and dont use.

Took over 3 1/2 hrs to play front nine. Some holes were so muddy it was unplayable

Whole course is under water. We can only play front 9 hole for twice. Front 9 to back 9 has been blocked by water.

When you hit your ball down the middle of what should be the fairway you can’t find your ball as the fairway was 6” tall the tee boxes were not cut

It’s the worst cow pasture I have ever played

Course was great. Only recommendation is better signage for people who are not familiar with the course. Multiple groups were playing on the wrong hole out of confusion.

Mission Trails is a perfect 18 hole track, for the price you pay. It was a windy and cold day, and conditions were not great, but the course is normally a lot of fun.

Greens are nice, fairways are pretty rough. Good for the price but they need to space out there tee times a little longer

The course was in rough shape. For the same amount of money, you can play a course somewhere else in better condition. The pace of play was nice. Finished the round in under 4hrs. Layout is okay.
